Taking the driver’s test is the first step . , r , toward Your own set of keys Clutching his red driver's man- ual, New Driver plods up the courthouse steps with his moth- er. He knows he should have read it more closely than he did, but he had to finish his sopho- more novel, A Separate Peace. He tip-toes up to the State troop- er carrying his birth certificate and manual, afraid to bother the hulk of a man straining the but- tons on his blue uniform. Suddenly, the mountain shifts, looks up, and mumbles, Yes. Can I help you? Driver nearly faints, but man- ages to gasp, I want to take my permit test. The mountain shifts again, turn- ing toward the typewriter de- manding, Address? Hair? Eyes? Height? Weight? Driver whispers, East 8th Street, Booneville; Blond; Blue; 5 feet 1 inch; 155. Mountain says, Here's your test; sit at that table and bring it to me when you finish. Driver takes a seat at the table and reads the first question, A driver should dim his headlights within (A) 100 feet (B) 200 feet (C) 300 feet (D) 500 feet of another vehicle. Driver marks d then scratches that out and marks b ; then changes his mind again and marks d again and hopes he's right. The rest of the test goes similarly. Here's my test, Driver man- ages to force out. Mountain takes the test and makes five marks on the multi- ple choice part and two on the signs part. An 80% and a 90%! New Driver has passed his per- mit test. Mountain rumbles out, Good job. Here's your permit. You can come back in 30 days and try for your restricted license. Driver thanks the officer and struts his way out to his mother and waves his permit in her face. She, of course, lets him drive home — but that's another story in New Driver's life. Regina Garner, who is in a hurry, finds unlocking her truck door a very big pet peeve. Fridays are car decorating days, courtesy of the cheerleaders.
